SUMMARY OF NEW EYBD PREVIEWS

Since there are so many new books this month (and for the next few months as evidenced by my Fall preview post), I’m simply going to provide you with a brief blurb about these previewed titles and share any events, EYBD previews or giveaways that are currently available. 

SEPTEMBER RELEASES

Rose’s Baking Basics: 100 Essential Recipes, with More Than 600 Step-by-Step Photos by Rose Levy Beranbaum guides you through every streamlined recipe that has been simplified and documented with more than 600 mouthwatering and instructive photos. Rose is a must-have author. Events.

Cooking South of the Clouds: Recipes and Stories from China’s Yunnan Province by Georgia Freedman has me as gobsmacked as I was/am about Carolyn Phillips’ All Under Heaven. Georgia has woven together the perfect tapestry of story-telling, recipes and photographs (by Josh Wand) that bring the Yunnan Province to life. I plan on spending a great deal of time with this stunning book this weekend. 

Simple by Yotam Ottolenghi shares 120 brand-new dishes that contain all the inventive elements and favour combinations that Ottolenghi is loved for, but with minimal hassle for maximum joy.

She brings authenticity to each creation, drawing on her experience as a Canadian living in Rome for the past 20 years. I’ve reviewed the digital copy of this book and it is stunning.  

The Cookie Book: Decadent Bites for Every Occasion by Rebecca Firth will be flour stained within a month. It’s unique, fun and begs to be splattered and covered in dough.

Season: A Year of Wine Country Food, Farming, Family, and Friends by Justin Wangler, Tracey Shepos Cenami and Jackson Family Wines is about crafting food with what’s growing in the soil, grazing in the fields, and swimming in the sea-food prepared with a light hand, seasoned with confidence, and served with casual sophistication. I stole a look at this book during IACP earlier this year and knew it was going to be incredibly beautiful and it is!
